Oswego, NY -- The Oswego Fire Department is testing fire hydrants throughout the summer primarily in the sixth and seventh wards.

The department also will color code the tops of fire hydrants to indicate the amount of flow per hydrant.

“Good water supply is one of the best resources a fire department can utilize during firefighting operations and this testing project will be a large part of that," said Chief Jeff McCrobie. "We understand that this may cause some minor inconvenience to residents, mainly in the possibility of discolored water, but the benefits far outweigh this."

Anyone with questions or concerns should call the Oswego Fire Department at 343-2161.
